No, but it should be quite easy, there are Saab and aftermarket units, different prices. The major issue will be getting the ball joint taper to release from the steering hub/knuckle. Search drs<underscore>install and find the posts on installing the front koni struts.
The toe-in should be checked afterwards, but should not end up being off by too much. If it seems to drive ok, give the bushings a week at least to settle in before adjusting.
Get an haynes manual too.
So you want to be quite certain that the ball joints are bad. Some have failed, but it is really quite rarely reported here. Ties rods are not expensive and fail more often, could they be the problem?
